SEMANTIC TOOLS FOR CARBON REDUCTION IN URBAN PLANNING Co-funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Programme Related Projects TRACE The Tool for Rapid Assessment of City Energy (TRACE)  is a decision-support tool designed to help cities quickly identify under-performing sectors, evaluate  improvement and cost-saving potential, and prioritize sectors and actions for energy efficiency (EE) intervention. It covers six municipal sectors: passenger  transport, tbuildings, water and waste water, public lighting, solid waste, and power and heat. Visit the website. Reference Framework for Sustainable Cities (RFSC) A set of tools that could local authorities and diverse stakeholders that need to make aligned decisions on their city strategy, policies and plans. These tools could  also help organise the assessment of sustainability and the monitoring of their urban strategy and to find examples of policies. Visit the website. CETICA The main objective of the CETICA project is the design and development of a new sustainable building model taking into account energy efficiency, ecological  sustainability and end user aspects.

Reegle has collected information from the  most highly-rated sources and it has classified this data in 243 country profiles using Visit the website. Adapt4EE Adapt4EE will develop an enhanced semantic enterprise data model that treats, learns and manages the enterprise environment as an intelligent agent, perceives  environmental state using multi-type sensors and information modalities. BECA (Balanced European Conservation Approach) The BECA project intends to achieve a significant reduction of energy consumption in European social housing. BECA will develop, provide and pilot advanced ICT-  based Resource Use Awareness Services (RUAS) and Resource Management Services (RMS), both to tenants and maintenance and management staff members.
